The next day we heard movenent and "chewing" sounds from inside the wall adjacent to the chimney. Armando was back within only a few hours, but while he was here there was (of course) not another sound from within the wall. We agreed to mark the wall exactly where we heard noises and to call him if and when the animal returned. Sure enough, early the next morning the animal was at it again and kept up the chewing for several hours until Armando and his manager got to the house. After using infra-red heat sensors and expert listening, lo and behold they identified a standpipe running down inside the wall at exactly the point above where we had been hearing the chewing. Where it emerged from the roof this standpipe was well-gnawed. Tapping and scraping on the pipe created exactly the chewing sounds we had been hearing inside the wall. Close inspection revealed that we have seven pipes coming through the roof, and all seven have signs of active and energetic chewing by squirrels. Armando wrapped all seven with sturdy hardware cloth. This may not prevent the squirrels from chewing, but they will not be able to damage the pipes and the sound should no longer carry down inside the wall. At this point we are very satisfied that 911 Wildlife has done everything within their power to get to the bottom of the "critters" in our wall and to resolve the problem. Armando is one of the most personable and pleasant professionals we have worked with, and he has the patience of Job to keep returning without additional charge until the problem was identified and resolved. We would not hesitate to call 911 Wildlife again.

I was contacted the following morning by Clear Choice Roofing. We set up a service date for the following afternoon. Gavin and his crew arrived exactly on time, inspected, and repaired a number of issues they found with my 7 yr old two-story roof. The company that replaced my roof in 2004 did a pretty substandard job, which I?d suspected, but Gavin?s inspection confirmed. In addition to the standard maintenance issues, there was a problem with three rotting soffit and fascia boards due to improper and non-existent flashing in those areas, the vent stack and exhaust fan covers were never replaced on the original re-roof, there was a leak around the exhaust fan in the master bathroom during rainstorms, and chimney trim was rotting as well.
Gavin set up an appointment for the following week, his crew arrived and repaired/replaced everything that was defective. In addition when the job was about half-way finished, I asked Gavin if the attic exhaust fans could be replaced as well since they were the original 18 yr old fans and one of them rattled constantly. I told him to add it to the cost of the job. He did, but surprisingly only charged for the fans, not any additional labor to replace and connect them. He said they were already up there anyway, it wouldn?t take much longer to replace them. Very impressive. After all the work was complete, I inspected everything and found the quality of the repairs to be outstanding. It was obvious his crew took pride in their work and the attention to detail was clearly evident. I am very pleased with the work done and will definitely use Clear Choice Roofing when it comes time to replace my roof."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/tx/fort-worth/clear-choice-roofing-reviews-6227384.htm"},"position":10}]}

"Technician came out for inspection and stated I needed a new cap since the existing one was damaged (crushed) on my wood burning stove. Appointment was set out a week in advance between 8 & 11 am, I actually called them at 10:45 and they said be there around 2pm. We rescheduled for the following Friday. Finally after they replaced the cap and put a seal on the door I have a smoke filled house and they're telling me they have nobody to come back and correct the problem. Terrible after the service business. Its ridiculous that I am having the same exact issue from before they diagnosed the problem, supposedly fixed it and charged me now I have to wait and deal with the smoke filled home.

FAQs for chimney inspection projects in Providence, TX
The average cost for a professional chimney cleaning is around $250, but prices range from $130 to $400 or more, depending on a few factors. Some things that have an impact on your total include the size of your chimney, the number of chimneys cleaned, and how accessible the chimneys are.
The cost to install a fireplace is $2,440 on average. This cost can range from $150 to $8,000 or more, depending on the type of fireplace, the materials used, and the size.
Electric fireplaces cost around $1,000 to install, and mostly only require wiring installation. Installing a wood fireplace from scratch could cost upwards of $10,000, depending on the foundation needed to support the weight of the fireplace. In addition, gas fireplaces can cost between $2,500 and $10,000.
The National Fire Prevention Agency (NFPA) recommends chimney sweeping once per year as a means of avoiding house fires and massive property damage. Over time, creosote and soot build up in your chimney from burning wood and a lack of ventilation. These compounds are both highly flammable, which means a build-up of them inside your chimney puts you at an increased risk of house fire. Chimney sweeping removes any residue and helps reduce the risk of property damage and personal injury from fire.
The cost to remodel your fireplace is $1,200 on average. This cost can range from $400 to $2,000, depending on the extent of work needed.

If choosing tile, you can pay between $1 and $50per square foot, depending on the design. Stone is a more expensive material, averaging between $60 and $70 per square foot.
On average, chimney repairs cost about $455. However, because of the vast range of potential repairs needed, the cost to repair a chimney ranges widely from $160 to $15,000, depending on the type and extent of repairs required.
